1985 Mercedes 280SL 5 Speed.  Less than 92,000 Miles.

This is  the European high output double overhead cam 2.8 liter SL.  Has more horsepower than the 3.8 V eight in a lighter, better handling package.  I believe that this SL has the Lorinser package.  I have never seen another one like it.  Wider wheels and aerodynamic . Really sticks to the road.  I  always get comments in this car.

It is very entertaining to drive in the mountains.  Gets 23 to 25 mpg on ethanol free premium fuel. 
This is not like the big, heavy cruisers.  The 280's are high revving and more agile due to the better weight distribution.

Pros: Mechanically sound, less than 92k miles.All gauges work, including the clock. Does not leak any fluids. Exceptional handling. Excellent fuel economy for SL.  Very rare. Dash has no cracks.  NO RUST.  Both tops.  Interesting chapter in this vehicles early history - Car was manufactured in Germany and was exported to Bogota Colombia in 1985.  Shipped to Texas a few months later.  ??? Documentation included. Has been in Texas until I Bought it in 2008. Has original tool kit and unopened first aid kit. Also have set of U.S. Spec lights if you don't like the European look.

Cons:  Almost 30 years old, some items do show wear.  Chrome on some wheels flaking,  Drivers seat has rip. Paint is good but does have age that shows on close inspection, it does not show up well in the pictures.  Two small tears in top.

If you would like to know why these are considered a "Drivers Car" and learn more about the 280sl and bulletproof M110 engine, please follow this link:

Jay Leno listens to the people, shows off still-stock 1972 Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3

Tue, Jan 27 2015

Let it be known, Jay Leno is a man of the people. Long-time viewers will recall the time he walked fans of his popular video series around the various projects going on in his eponymous garage. One such vehicle was his 1972 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3, which he'd planned on fitting with the powertrain from the awesome SLS AMG. But rather than just make the move and be done with it, Leno asked viewers whether he should restore the silver sedan or carry on with his plan to resto-mod. Well, the restoration team won, and the 6.3-liter sports sedan soldiers on unmolested. That is, of course, no bad thing, according to Leno. In his latest video, he revisits the 1972 luxury sedan, and takes it for a spin around Los Angeles. Fans of Mercedes' big-grilled 1970s styling won't want to miss this video.

Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA gets official ahead of Shanghai

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

Mercedes-Benz has something special planned for the Shanghai Motor Show - a new CUV concept that we first saw when it leaked on the internet yesterday. The GLA Concept compact crossover will hit the show stand with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque mated to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive, and likely previews a new production model that we've already spotted testing.
That's not news, but the laser-based headlamps with video-projecting capability certainly are. Mercedes-Benz says the array can project any image or video onto a screen, which is handy since there are a pair of HD cameras mounted to the roof rack. The cameras can be removed and taken with you on all sorts of adventures. The lamps also feature a visible cooling system comprised of a series of fans, and the system helps give the headlights their "sparkle" effect.
Step indoors and the GLA offers up the interior of a high-quality crossover, complete with contrasting leather and plenty of aluminum. The automaker says the cabin was inspired by saddle craftsmanship with "more than 65 feet of hand-stitched seams to hold the raw edges of the leather together."
